Alf Sjöberg

1903-80

A temperamental and somewhat controversial figure of the stage and screen who had a constant thirst for knowledge. He was one of Sweden's major theatre directors of the 20th century, and the first Swedish film director of international significance since the silent film era. Sjöberg directed Ingmar Bergman's first screenplay Torment (1944).

"For the theatre he was what Lundkvist was for literature and Palme for politics, the bearer of the dream of the Swede as a citizen of the world."
- Erland Josephson
